Welcome to the February 2021 LOTRO Basics "monthly" status update post! In this, you will find a roundup of information relating to guides on this site and new external guides recently found.
Of Note:
- The class guide updated for 2021 has been made!
- All class pages have been slightly reworked and reformatted. I also added new guides I have come across.
- I released a gameplay video update for 2021, which may serve as a no-commentary companion to other guides and resources you use.
Otherwise, for Feb 2021, I will cover:
- New guides
- Original
- External
- Resources
- Gameplay
- WIP/Status
New Guides
New original guides:
- Warden Guide - Stats, Gear, and Virtues (Character Building): https://youtu.be/xNv4rwPNGIY
- Level 100 Guide - https://www.lotrobasics.com/2020/12/level-100-guide.html
For new external guides, I have found a decent variety, but don't have a list of which are new vs old with the new class page formatting. All guides are still linked in the class guides and resources page.
New resources:
- Helpful Links and FAQ (Early 2021): https://www.reddit.com/r/lotro/comments/lh6cl2/helpful_links_and_faq_the_lord_of_the_rings/
- LOTRO Official Events Schedule 2021 Calendar: https://laurelsden.wordpress.com/lotro-official/lotro-schedule-2021/
If you have found any great resources or guides that I did not add here, please share them and I will update the list!
Status Update and Work in Progress
There are a few things I am working on:
- Video guide on all classes similar in format to the text guide for 2021
- Broad class guide for all classes, essentially expanding on the little coverage of each individual class in the 2021 class guide
- Gameplay commentary/discussion for each class, essentially in the same format as my no-commentary annual gameplay videos but with me talking a bit about the class, also in similar format to my recent Journey Through Wildwood video - these would also ideally be premieres on YouTube so viewers could chat live about the class as the video goes through
- New class build pages to browse sample trait builds (these would offer more description and quicker viewing than current starter builds that are just linked in the class pages)
